User talk:NefariousWheel
Briefly, I'm an old man with 35 years in the information technology business, since the discrete transistor days. I've written some software for NASA, power companies, etc. (about a half-million lines of code all up) mostly in legacy languages and styles, and understand VAX/VMS best of them all. I curently serve on the board of directors of SCA Australia at the moment. I'm a gamer and a reader, and have written one and a half books. Currently working in the business/financial sector as an IT consultant. Favorite sites are Wiki, Slashdot, GPF, TheRegister and the weather. NefariousWheel is also my Slashdot handle.
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
[edit]Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 23:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
